LISIRD: Making Solar Data More Accessible
Journal Article
Overview
abstract
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Finding quality solar data can be difficult, and getting data in an analysis-ready format can be even more cumbersome. The LASP Interactive Solar IRradiance Datacenter (LISIRD),&#160;</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">https://lasp.colorado.edu/lisird/</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">, seeks to eliminate these burdens. LISIRD is a website where researchers can discover, visualize, and download solar data from a variety of missions, instruments, models, and laboratories. LISIRD provides solar data that is openly available and easy to analyze through an intuitive user interface, detailed metadata, interactive plotting capabilities, and a catalog of over 100 datasets. The majority of these datasets are measurements and model results from NASA missions and NASA research projects.</span></p>; <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">After a complete redesign, LISIRD now supports image datasets through an interactive image viewer, easier comparative analysis by displaying multiple datasets at once, the ability to save and share plot configurations, and improved dataset transparency through more comprehensive metadata.</span></p>; <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">This presentation will illustrate the key features of LISIRD, provide details on the datasets it serves, showcase its current technology infrastructure, and consider opportunities for future improvements and community collaboration.</span></p>
